I was employed at Newell Rubbermaid for 5+ years. Some of the things I enjoyed while working there included: solid work ethic among colleagues, work/life balance, average pay and benefits, and state-of-the-art office space. Newell Rubbermaid is definitely one of the best companies I've ever worked for. I would likely return if the right opportunity presented itself.

Cons

The downside of working at Newell Rubbermaid is the constant change in Management and strategy in the recent years and the continuous layoffs. Unfortunately, the former Newell culture that existed when I first started suffered as a result of these things. Lastly, there were plenty of advancement opportunities within the company. When I applied for opportunities outside of my department, I was often not even considered for the roles even though I was qualified which is why I ultimately left the company.

Advice to Management

While change is necessary in today's society, try to establish a clear strategy and stick to it which will not only benefit the company but also the employees.
